that................ is awesome.

 

[lionflyer]

still LOL!

 

[ATRCAPT]

I've though about doing the same thing many times. Glad to see someone took the initiative.

 

[clickclickboom]

That man is my hero..

Good thing he wasnt with JB flightattendants because we all know what would happen next

 

[flynryan15]

You pull that with TSA and one of those Hogs is going to get excited and want to mate!

 

[najet]

I don't even have to be angry to do that.........

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

His antics meant 37 passengers were delayed for 2 hours while government staff investigated the matter.

What could take an additional two hours after the man left nothing left to search....??

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

They probably had to take his "weapon" in for analysis.

Hopefully the man with the rubber gloves was gentle.

"It could have been worse though, the incident happened at the staff-only checkpoint, so no passengers had to come face to face with the half naked pilot. Of course, if this happened in the US, they probably would have emptied the terminal for fear of a terrorist penis attack."

It has.

They did.

It was a Mesaba pilot in Detroit if I remember correctly.

Melissa: Hi, I'm Melissa Robinson.
Ace Ventura: Pleasure to meet you.
Melissa: Did you have any trouble getting in?
Ace Ventura: No, the guy with the rubber glove was surprisingly gentle.

No way man, the US is a free country.

If that happened here he would be declared an 'enemy compatant', waterborded until he admitted that the disiplay of his WMD was an intent to destroy national security, his great grandmother was a cousin (twice removed) to the president of Iran, who's aunts great grandson was from Palestine, fought against the IDF and was once the chofer of one of Sadam's mistresses. After that he would be shipped off to GITMO for further questioning and re-training.

[Flying-Corporal]

I guess Britts have as little sense of humor as we do. If I was the pilot I would've apologized saying that I misunderstood what she meant by "take it off". Besides, he is Swiss, he could've blamed on his poor English

 

[Stifler's Mom]

With London's average February temperature being 10 C, I am not sure I would voluntarily drop my pants for all to see "Little Sitfler"...Brrrrrrr.

 

[Mach 80]

It's crazy that cockpit crewmembers still have to go through security with the exception of PIT and maybe somewhere else. That sytem in PIT works great. It should spread to all the airports. What a stupid waste of TSA resources and unnecessary aggravation to passengers when we have to cut in line. The pilots and all pilot unions should be screaming to get a PIT thing done everywhere.

Totally off-topic, but am I the only one who thought Stifler's Mom (the chick in the movie, not the FI poster) was pretty damn hot in the original American Pie and now looks like a total freak hippo in Nip/Tuck? I mean WTF!? LOL.

Amazing what 10+ years will do to ya huh?

 

[SplitBar]

A Mesaba pilots did that in Indy about 5 years ago. He was quickly fired.

 

[bigheadtodd]

I think they should include the FAs in the CrewPass program. I mean, we can't board if they are still standing in line in security.

 

[Cobra17]

Well it was a "staff only" checkpoint.

 

[B52GUNNER]

Denzell!!!!! Show me dat a$$!!!!!!!!

 

[IslandDriver]

I hate the airports where the TSA looks at you and say..."Take it out" meaning my ID badge. Being a Seinfeld fan I laugh as I comply. But I would love to comply in the Seifeld way...

Seinfeld fans know the meaning of "Take .... ' it ' out"

 

[Cobra17]

Yeah, and they usually insist on touching it.

PDT had a captain that did the same thing a few years ago. He had a thick accent, and used lots of 4 letter words.

Checkpoint yahoos ticked him off one day, he dropped his drawers and yelled "you want to look in my a$$ tooooooo?". He kept his job.

DH from LHR to BRU this fall in uniform the FE had to check his flashlight! The Brits told us it did not matter that we were crew, the flash light would not be allowed for any passenger even crew. Not even the TSA is that anal. It was a two D cell Maglite.

TSA Tool...

I had a TSA tool somewhere up in Maine try that BS on me once, telling me my two D cell maglite could be used as a blunt force weapon, and therefore, he would have to take it from me.

I immediately unscrewed the flashlight, handed him the 2 D cells, and asked him again as to just how my flashlight was to be used as a weapon?

The deer in the headlights TSA agent just stood there silently. Of course it cost me a set of D cells when I got to my destination, but it was well worth it for the entertainment value.

And yes, I kept my $20 maglite.
